Indiana Based Divorce Lawyers & Family Law Team

Hollingsworth & Zivitz - A Full-Service Family Law Team headquartered
in Hamilton County

Dealing with any type of legal issue involving your family can be a stressful
and all-consuming, to say the least. For most people, the prospect of
change is not easy to welcome, and it can lead to anxiety and fear. Whether
your family issues involve contemplating divorce, dealing with a custody
or child support modification, protecting your children within public
school systems, or fighting for your special needs child to get the education
they deserve, creating an effective estate plan, developing, growing and
protecting a small business you created, or defending yourself or family
member when some of these challenges result in compounded problems (such
as minor criminal issues including OWI/DUI, etc), we understand the struggles
of these challenging family dynamics --- and we are here to help! At Hollingsworth
& Zivitz, we have helped countless families throughout the state of
Indiana (and beyond) reach effective resolutions. If you are at a major
crossroads in life, or if your family is going through particularly challenging
circumstances, our full-service family law firm can guide you towards
the next (and best!) phase of your life.

Decades of Combined Experience Dedicated to Family Law & Legal Issues
Involving Families

Since 2004, our
award-winning law firm has been compassionately and skillfully handling a wide range of family
law cases, including divorce, custody, child support, paternity, spousal
support, guardianship, grandparent visitation rights, emancipation, pre-
and post-nuptial agreements, contested adoptions, step-parent adoptions,
and family law appeals. We also assist clients who need help with restraining
orders, relocations, post-secondary education expense orders, modifications
of custody and child support, contempt and education and juvenile law
matters. In addition to the legal issues that are traditionally considered
“family law,” we have a passion for representing children
(and their families) who experience troublesome issues at school (such
as bullying, unreasonable expulsions, etc). We are dedicated to assisting
families and protecting special needs children within the public school
system, which includes ensuring they have proper individualized education
programs (“IEP”). Our experienced Special Education Law Team
zealously fights for the rights of all children – including special
needs children - and their families.

Wish to settle your divorce in a more private and amicable manner? We also offer
mediation services and a
collaborative law approach to divorce and family law matters. Our law firm practices alternative
dispute law, with a primary goal being to present our clients in a way
that is less contentious. Our focus is always on
minimizing and diffusing conflict for our clients, so that life after the legal process, whether through
co-parenting or just living an easier life, can be more peaceful. These
means of alternative dispute resolution should always be examined first,
to save our clients’ time, money, and emotional exhaustion. However,
when these types of alternative dispute resolution methods are ineffective, we are
skilled litigators, ready for litigation and passionate about fighting for our clients’
rights in the courtroom.
